" with more on the israeli election. >> neil: thank you very much. we don't have anything to add on what is going on in houston. it appears the worst is behind us and stability has returned there. if there is anything new on that, i will bring it to you. for now, there does not appear be to be. but we have two fast-moving developments, concurrently with that. the cold weather in the united states, the cold shoulder to benjamin netanyahu, who survives to fight another day, but barely. but first, fox on top of some bone-chilling cold. caribou, maine, the temperature is expected to hit 20 below zero. minus 15 in duluth, minnesota -- that's the actual temperature. add in the wind and it was as low as minus 60 degrees in mount washington, new hampshire. new york city, the windchill, making it feel like a balm i 6 degrees, not just the freezing tnchs parts of pennsylvania and western new york, socked with upwards of two feet of snow, snow squalls and thunder-snow as they are calling it, wreaking havoc throughout the midwest. >> this is some of the worst viseen. >> it's been quite a day. >> dri
